Prepare Stage-2 Package

C. Prepare and Submit Your Stage-2 Package

  1. Start the Stage-2 certification process by downloading from the INIFAC website the forms that you will need for Stage-2. (Note: You may choose to begin completing the Stage-2 information before receiving notification of the successful completion of Stage-1.)

  2. Follow the instructions to complete all documents.

  3. Within a week of your receiving email notification of the completion of Stage-1, the INIFAC office will assign a session topic and send you participant envelopes by mail to be used during the video facilitated session.

    • Please note: the participant envelopes must NOT be opened by the facilitator. The envelopes must be opened, in the view of the camera, by the participants during the session, as described in the video instructions.

    • The envelopes contain specific instructions for behaviors the participants are to exhibit during the session. These behaviors will help the assessors get a better understanding of your abilities to deal with a variety of situations.

    • It is imperative that you, the facilitator, not open these envelopes nor see the contents of the envelopes prior to the end of the session.

  4. Recruit participants and a videographer to handle the video equipment.
